Big Eddy Campground

Me and my family love to go here. It is a beautiful place to go for a day. The host went there about 4 times though. And 1st thing in the morning. Was kinda annoying he was doing it to all the campers out that day.Its was a beautiful place. And we just tried to avoid it for the amount that we paid. I wish the facilities would have been a little bit cleaner but it was still very beautiful and was just what we needed for the weekend.

Beautiful beach area along the river with picinic table and grill a few feet away. Sitting there with your feet in the sand watching the river flow swiftly by carrying an occasional kyaker, you get lost. All the worries get swept up by the white waters and disappear. Don't be surprised if you have loatman hour or two when you return to reality. The surroundings are gorgeous, with colors so fresh and vivid. The greens of the trees and bushes stand out against the tan, red, grey,mand black sand, and it is all wrapped around the cool fresh blues in the river. It's a must see/feel stop!

We had just 3 chairs and a cooler on the beach and would’ve been more than happy to move to one side and allow other folks space if they would’ve asked. It’s a small beach and will fit two families at the most. She did

Our favorite go-to place for day trips and camping. Beautiful scenery, access to the river and surprisingly quiet being so close to the highway.

Been coming here since I can remember. My parents even before that. It was our favorite swimming and fishing hole back in the day. kind of a secret private place back then. Could spend a whole week there and not see anyone.I'm happy to see the Forestry Department has maintained it well. Lot busier now, but still has its particular charm.
